Bound Tree Medical Europe Launches New Rip Shears™ Ripper

Telford, UK (13th June, 2012) - Bound Tree Medical Europe Ltd, a leading supplier of first aid equipment, hospital and medical supplies, is now stocking the new Rip Shears™ model, 'Ripper'.

Rip Shears™ Ripper is designed to enable emergency medical personnel to access and treat wound sites more quickly and conveniently. This model in particular was designed and tested by US Navy SEALs to perform in difficult or harsh conditions, by slicing through clothing, equipment and even body armour in record time.

The design itself incorporates all-black trauma shears and the Ripper unit, which enables the user to make a quick pilot cut with the trauma shears before easily ripping through the material with the Ripper. With durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel blades, the Rip Shears™ Ripper is also proven to last five times longer than standard carbon steel blades.

A spokesperson for Bound Tree Medical Europe Ltd commented: "In testing or trying emergency medical situations, it can be difficult to ensure the rapid removal of clothing in order to access wounded areas. In circumstances where every minute counts, an inability to access and treat certain areas can be detrimental to the long-term health of the patient, and so it is therefore essential to remove patients' clothing as quickly as possible.

"The Rip Shears™ Ripper represents an innovation in emergency equipment, and we are delighted to provide this product to our clients. However complex the circumstances may be, the Rip Shears™ Ripper will make light work of accessing wounded areas and thus help you to treat patients more efficiently."
